Finance operations / Workflow automation
I help finance teams in growing manufacturing businesses move away from manual, fragmented processes and towards clearer, more controlled ways of working. That includes standardising approvals, improving cash visibility, reducing spreadsheet-driven work, automating payment matching and reconciliation, and connecting finance data so the team can operate with less chasing and more confidence. The result is a finance function that is easier to run, quicker to close, and better able to scale as the business grows.
